<p>Joy Law's intimate account of Dordogne is the fruit of nearly 40 years of living in and exploring the province. Whether she's taking the reader to some unexpected architectural treasure or singing the praises of the fabulous gastronomy of Dordogne—the home of truffles, foie gras, walnut oil, and other legendary pleasures—her enthusiasm is always infectious.</p>

Dordogne

Travel

Macdonald Futura

It is a region of dramatic contrasts, from the desolate mystery of the Camargue with its saltwater lagoons to the purple rocks of the Cote Vermeille, from the granite uplands of the Cevennes to the undulating wheatfields of the Lauragais, from the sunparched vineyards of the Corbieres to the botanist's paradise of the Cerdagne. The churches and the abbeys, chateaux and hotels to be found there are redolent of the region's intriguing past: of trobadours at the courts of Narbonne, Toulouse and Perpignan, of the Cathar heretics who met their death in the mountain eyrie of Montsegur, of the merchants who grew rich from the cloth trade and the buildings of the Canal du Midi. As distinctive for its food and wine as for its history and architecture, the Midi is rich, too, in anecdote, as Joy Law shows in this original and entertaining guide.

The Midi

<p>(Covers the area stretching through Languedoc from Nimes and Montpellier to the medieval towns of Carcassone and Albi, and across into Roussillon and the foothills of the Pyrenees. The region's landscape is one of dramatic contrasts and its churches, abbeys and chateaux are redolent of a rich past.)</p>
